Creative Announces PCI-E Soundcards

then again my entire PCI-E bus is taken up by video... And there's zero reason to replace my XtremeMusic...

Would be a nice option for running SLI with one of these on a tri SLI board though?

haha well it wouldnt make any sence to make a sound card use a video infrance. lol the sound processing can only happen so fast. untill they add a flux capisator

I'm fairly certain a PCIe X1 card will run fine in any PCIe slot. It just won't take advantage of those parts of the slot it doesn't have contacts in.

The only exception I'm aware of is the "Audio Card" of the ASUS Formula Maximus which is somehow proprietaryily (somebody call webster... I think I just invented a word...

) linked not only to a PCIe X1 slot, but also linked to only one of the two available on the board.

Found your case build sswilson & it looks good for sure. Very nice indeed.

That card looks badass even dispite it's wimpy (insert penis joke here) looking PCI-e x1 port.

looks cool, but in the end its the same card as my x-fi platinum.
